When It's Time to Run

Lorna



Two years ago today

You left for Death

And I say

Happy Death Day

Regardless I am left alone

But you have found our new home

Where horses nicker in the fields

You tend them

While you wait

As wait we must

Till this foolish life of flesh

Moves on to dust

Watch for me!

Have a horse saddled for me!

    Sad yet such a great write.
    Death the tragedy, yet you bring light to it. Got a feeling a horse will be saddled for you, but not for a long time yet.

    A reunion is there patiently waiting for you Lorna. 🌹👍

    The category you selected for this poem was appropriately “love”. What a heart felt and moving write. I also enjoyed the song as well, especially the lyrics, “Yours is the heart I’ll always keep. I’m not gone even if I leave.”
    Kindest regards,
    A.H.
